Londonderry intro.Though it has so-far missed out on the boom in cultural rejuvenation and urban redevelopment enjoyed in some other Northern Irish communities, most notably Belfast, the country's second city of Londonderry still offers visitors unique and enjoyable attractions. From Londonderry hotels, tourists can easily reach the most prominent sites, many of which are of great historical importance. Political history is a major local force, as illustrated in the murals of the People's Gallery along Rossville Street. The nearby Bloody Sunday Memorial is an unfortunate but important monument to a pivotal event in the country's history. Another key local site is the Museum of Free Derry, also on Rossville Street. Free Derry Corner, another key part of local history, is at the southern end of Rossville Street. The city enjoys a much longer history, though. The city's oldest building, St Columb's Cathedral, dates from the 17th century. Another key historic feature is the 16th century complex of fortified city walls, which are remarkable for being almost completely intact and can be seen at many points around the old city centre.
